Powders "Max Factor" delight girls all over the world with their quality and perfect coverage. The brand produces cosmetics for different skin types, which causes sympathy among fans of this brand. Facial products have gained particular popularity.
History of Creation
The founder of the brand, Maximilian Abramovich Faktorovich, was a native of Poland. As a young man, he worked as an apprentice, moved to the Russian Empire and got a job as an assistant in the dressing room of the Bolshoi Theater at the age of 14. This was the beginning of his long journey in the world of transformation.
After serving in the army, he opened his first cosmetics store in Ryazan, but most of the time there he spent advising actors, whom he enjoyed talking about how best to apply cosmetics for optimal results. Having become a famous make-up artist, Max Factor moved to St. Petersburg, where he did make-up for actors in the imperial theaters of Nicholas II. In 1904, he migrated to America, where he founded the Max Factor company, which became so popular.
Shepositioned itself as a brand providing services for theater and film studios. With the development of technology in the field of cinematography, new problems arose in the make-up of actors. The old oily makeup didn't look good on screen, so the owner of the company came up with the idea of using a lighter foundation that was made in a liquid form instead of hardened sticks.
From the very beginning, the work went towards the creation of a natural coating that can enhance beauty and hide imperfections. Over time and thanks to the competent successors of the company, the goal was successfully achieved, and now girls all over the world can enjoy light and harmless facial cosmetics.
Brand Tools
The company "Max Factor" justifies its popularity with high-quality and durable cosmetics, which you can easily rely on even on the most important and responsible days, when you need to look your best. With foundations and powders from this brand, you can look great all day long without worrying about your appearance.
Every woman wants to shine and be beautiful in everything, therefore, preferring to use face powder from one manufacturer, they also choose other products from the same company. A well-known fact: decorative cosmetics from the same brand or even from the same series have great compatibility, do not roll under each other and adhere well to the skin, showing external smoothness and the absence of imperfections.
Compact CREME PUFF
There are now threetype of compact powders "Max Factor". "Poof" - a creamy version, suitable for girls with very dry skin, as it softens dead skin pieces that are noticeable when using loose products.
It is recommended to apply it in a wet way, for this there is a double-sided sponge inside the box. On the one hand, it can be used as usual, for dry use, while the other side has a more porous structure. It is convenient to wet it a little, and then the product will lie on the skin in a smooth and even layer.
With all this creamy powder "Max Factor" mattifies the skin, but leaves a slight glow. It does not leave yellow spots on fair skin and does not fade into pink.
Cream shades
On the official website in the palette "Cream Poof" there are seven shades: both light and dark. Truly Fair is suitable for transparent, white-pink skin, while Medium Beige will look good on dark and tanned skin. A suitable color is best selected in the store, trying to apply a little powder on the back of the hand. Before buying, it is better to go outside and take a close look at how it looks under bright daylight. This is how it will look on the face, and since this tool is denser than the rest, any differences in shades can be fatal.
The variety of shades of powder "Max Factor" will allow you to choose the right color without difficulty. Thick coverage is easy to apply and hides imperfections well.
Loose LOOSE POWDER
Owners of normal to combination problem-free skin will love Loose Powder, which is pleasant to use. It comes in only one sheer shade to suit all skin tones.
Loose powder "Max Factor" is designed to even out the color and dullness of the skin, hiding small imperfections. Can be used on its own or as a fixing agent, ideal for lovers of light and inconspicuous makeup, as well as those who would like to extend the durability of foundation.
Due to its texture, it may not be suitable for owners of dry skin, as it is likely to emphasize peeling. Although the powder is invisible on the face, it must be washed off thoroughly to avoid clogging the pores.
Facefinity
Reviews of Max Factor powder are mostly positive, but in most cases they are from girls with dark and combination skin. For them, the product is perfect, as it has a dense and persistent texture, stays on the skin for a long time and does not "float away", does not clog the pores of the face.
"Facefinity" has a nice package, the lid snaps tightly and does not open in the purse without the desire of the hostess. The set includes a mirror and a sponge. It does not dust and does not crumble in use, besides, although small, but protection from the sun is provided. Its only minus is leaving in a red tint right on the face some time after use, which is completely invisible.on swarthy and dark skin.
Legendary facefinity powder from Max Factor
It is unlikely that there will be at least one girl in the modern world who is not familiar with this bestseller. "Facefinity" has always been and remains in the affordable segment of cosmetics, while retaining its qualities, such as durability, density, UV protection (SPF 15).
Thanks to its compact and convenient packaging with good content, it has won the hearts of women. Many Russian and Hollywood stars also prefer to use this powder.
Palette
One of the major drawbacks of Facefinity is the inability to successfully find a shade for very fair skin. The entire color scheme of this powder is naturally beige and dark, giving a little reddishness. Even the lightest "porcelain", although it remains light immediately after application, but after a while it begins to darken right on the skin.
For those who have a darker or tanned complexion, it will come in handy. Facefinity is available in porcelain, ivory, natural, sand, gold, bronze, toffee.
Basics
Initially, powders were not created as an independent makeup product, but as a fixing tonal foundation. With their help, you can be sure that dense fat-based cosmetics will not leak from the face, and the shine will not be too defiant.
This is how the famous facefinity powder from "Max Factor" was developed, which also has Facefinity All Day foundation and primer in its line. According to the correct technology, a transparent primer is first applied to clean skin. Its task is to mattify the skin, remove excess sebum and smooth out imperfections, but the main thing is the ability to hold foundation on itself much longer than on bare skin. In addition, the primer contains SPF 20, which is undoubtedly its big plus.
After it is absorbed, the foundation is used. While long-wearing on its own, and also doesn't add extra shine, it warms up on the skin over time and suffers from the surrounding weather conditions. This is where setting powder comes in, which can be applied on top of makeup a couple of times a day so that the beauty induced in the morning stays in place.
Creme Puff can be a bit heavy to apply on top of foundation. Applying it wet makes it already like a cream, which means it does not need additional foundation or strengthening.
A crumbly Loose Powder is suitable for any foundation. It is light and transparent, does not clump on a different basis and does not change the color of the coating.
How to apply and how to wash off
Each of the above powders comes with puffs or sponges for applying makeup, but in practice they are often not very convenient. It has long been proven that special brushes are the most practical and convenient way. They are differentboth in shape and type of pile. To powder the face, it is best to use a wide round brush. For loose powder, a medium-soft natural bristle is well suited, so it will remain invisible on the skin, while being able to perform its immediate functions: fix the tonal foundation and mattify the skin.
As for the creamy Creme Puff, a brush with a hard synthetic bristle will come in handy, it will pick up the powder better and evenly distribute it over the skin when applied wet.
Tassel made of natural goat fur will help you to carefully apply "Facefinity". The powder of this line is tightly pressed, and thick, dense and porous hair will cope with it by five points.
